Your Favorite Fall Boot, Reimagined

Your Favorite Fall Boot, Reimagined

We hate to get all "Later, summer" on you, but fall is happening whether you like it or not. With it, a transition back to chunky knits, tights, closed-toes shoes, and pumpkin-spice lattes, among other things. It's comforting, in a way, knowing what's coming. Though, you probably weren't counting on combat boots — your mud-stomping festival favorite from summer — to have a major renaissance.

Don't worry, though — traditional black Dr. Martens are still sticking around this season. But, overall, you'll notice these rubber-soled styles taking on a gentler air by way of striking metallics, bold prints, and lighter hues. Even if you do opt for a classic iteration, the key here is to pair 'em with outfits you wouldn't necessarily expect, like the sweatshirt-miniskirt combo demonstrated here. Have no fear and ready to experiment? You know what to do next...
